New Bozeman Products

speaking of new Bozeman products– Ryan,can you give an update on when the pullover will start shipping? Especially to those of us who have preordered. Cheers.

I’ll second both of those questions! I’ve also preordered the pullover. and after reading about the prototype cocoon arc-x in the print issue, I’ve been curious about this too.

I’ve also seen that Bpl is going to produce a cocoon balaclava that I can’t wait to get my hands on. Should be a great year for gear.

And what happened to the Arc X? It isn’t on the Sleep Systems page anymore.

Well, I finally received my Cocoon and it is amazingly lofty for it’s weight(hope the loft lasts)– almost as much as my 15 year old Marmot down sweater (I admit it has lost a little loft in that time). You may call it indigo blue,Ryan, but it’s more cheerful than that–an electric dark blue–cool. I had a chance to use it as a warm up jacket last weekend doing a little ski touring.
My only suggestions for improving the pullover
are to cut the jacket so that the rear is longer.We longer torsoed folk especially would appreciate it. I felt a little exposed back there (rest of tailoring is superb–arms cut great,room for some layering).
A couple of trick BMW zipper pulls would be a nice aesthetic gesture.
Thank you for not slathering logos all over the exterior (offenders,you know who you are).
You definitely one- upped Patagonia and Montbell with this garment.

Yes I have to agree to Kevin. My cocoon arrived Saturday, and the only thing I’m missing: I’m 6’3 tall and I feel it could bebe a bit longer..besides that..excellent..
